QJEEM22Ma67b2: JEE Main 2022 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM22Ma67b2 Solution: The mean and variance of the data 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, x, y, where …

The mean and variance of the data 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, x, y, where x < y, are 6 and 94{9 \over 4} respectively. Then x4+y2{x^4} + {y^2} is equal to :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 162
  • B 320
  • C 674
  • D 420

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Mean =4+5+6+6+7+8+x+y8=6= {{4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + x + y} \over 8} = 6

∴\therefore x+y=12x + y = 12 ..... (i)

And variance

=22+12+02+02+12+22+(x−6)2+(y−6)28= {{{2^2} + {1^2} + {0^2} + {0^2} + {1^2} + {2^2} + {{(x - 6)}^2} + {{(y - 6)}^2}} \over 8}

=94= {9 \over 4}

∴\therefore (x−6)2+(y−6)2=8{(x - 6)^2} + {(y - 6)^2} = 8 ..... (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

x = 4 and y = 8

∴\therefore x4+y2=320{x^4} + {y^2} = 320
